When kids get busted showing their prick to unsuspecting ladies on campus, or get busted with plants, I say give 'em a second chance.
But when adults do this...it's a very different situation:
"The situation changed dramatically on April 2, 2013, when ESPN's Outside the Lines aired several hours of video from Rice's practices. According to ESPN, the video, provided to Pernetti by then-assistant coach Eric Murdock, showed Rice berating, pushing, kicking, cursing, using homophobic slurs, and throwing basketballs at players during practice"

That quote leaves out that he was throwing basketballs at their heads. IDK why Rice escaped criminal charges for assault.....the case would be a slam dunk.
I say he is a sociopath. I wouldn't send my kid to play at YSU with him coaching there. I am not impressed with his response to the scandal either, where he pretended to be the victim.
